| The
2001 GasGas TXT Series
The
three full sized Trials bikes coming to the USA have
undergone significant modifications which have improved the
already excellent characteristics of a world-acclaimed
product.
The
main achievement is the combination of maximum stiffness
with weight reduction. A key feature was the development by
the GAS GAS technical department of new, cast aluminium
front suspension legs for the whole range, which provides
more stiffness as well as a weight reduction. The new
mounting position and shape of the front fork stiffening
bridge help prevent it from twisting.
At the same time, a new, bigger intermediate muffler has
been fitted, giving the new range better response at low
revs. These new solutions complement some fine tuning of the
carburator, cylinder head and muffler. These improvements
result in improved engine response. The new muffler also
reduces noise.
Below
are the main innovations in the frame and suspensions for
the complete TXT range:
New front suspension with cast aluminium lower legs
Flat aluminium front suspension stiffening bridge adapted to
new suspension
New-design front fender also adapted to new suspension
bridge
New plastic shield for protection behind the filter box, to
prevent water and mud from entering
New design, lighter sprocket protector
Modified fuel tank
Reinforced AA2014 T6 forged aluminium suspension rods
